This 2.63 carat example is a genuine survivor of that craft: hand-cut at least 80 years ago, with the slightly irregular facets and high crown that give Old Mine stones their distinctive warmth and depth, quite unlike anything cut today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSourced through Antwerp — the city that's anchored the diamond trade for generations — this stone was rescued from a piece of antique jewellery rather than mined and cut new. It carries an H\/I colour grade, sitting comfortably in the near-colourless range, paired with SI1 clarity for a stone with genuine, easily visible character rather than clinical perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor collectors who appreciate the story behind a stone as much as the sparkle, an Old Mine Cut like this one offers something a modern diamond never can: proof of the hands that shaped it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hope diamonds \u0026 gemstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53556816183590,"sku":"WOMB264HSI1","price":27360.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/2058\/7046\/files\/WOMB263HISI1.jpg?v=1785890367","url":"https:\/\/hopediamonds.com.au\/products\/antique-old-european-cut-diamond-3-61-ct-o-p-vs-copy","provider":"Hope diamonds \u0026 gemstones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
